You can fix that easily in any of three ways:
1. Lower the settings in ZA temporarily (not a great idea, in my view,
but it works. I prefer the other choices)
2. Turn off ZA temporarily (long enough to download the new version)
and use the Windows firewall instead.
3. Download the new version of ZA on a friend's computer and bring it
to yours on a CD.
